“The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the LordYahweh says.’”
Ezekiel 2:4 (WEB)
Context Reading
2The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me. 3He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day. 4The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the LordYahweh says.’ 5They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse — for they are a rebellious house — yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them. 6You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
